Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 195

Suye went to see her mother, Mrs. Qinghe. Mrs. Qinghe has been reclusive all these years, so fewer and fewer people in the capital know her, but everyone will never forget that the head of the Suye family's generation is like a legend in the clouds. characters.

"Mother, I want to ask you for a favor." Suye smiled, and spoke directly to Mrs. Qinghe.

Mrs. Qinghe cut off the flower branches in her hand leisurely, "This is a strange thing, is there still something Qinger needs to help mother?"

Most of the family's affairs almost fell on the young master's shoulders, and many things were directly sent to Fengyan Xiaozhu for him to handle. After all, Suye was already the actual power holder of the family, and he had no idea how much power he held. What is not easy?
Su Ye said: "Didn't mother buy several batches of silks and satins before, and I have never seen those satins used by my mother. In fact, the silk and satin shop has taken on a lot of new looks recently. Why doesn't my mother let people have a look?"

Of course Mrs. Qinghe knew that Suye's drunkard's intention was not to drink, and when he heard him mention silk and satin, her heart moved: "Which silk and satin shop?"

Suye knew that his mother still remembered that Mrs. Qinghe seldom went out, so she went to Kong Linglong's silk and satin shop by such a coincidence some time ago, to see how many bolts of silk and satin she brought back, he felt that this was really fate.

Mrs. Qinghe smiled, and stared at Suye: "Why don't you take me to pick some new ones?"

Mrs. Qinghe bought those materials, but she really hasn't thought about how to use them. It seems that she doesn't need them to make clothes, and it's a waste to do other things.

Su Ye said: "If mother doesn't have time to go, you can also recommend it to some friends in your boudoir. Maybe mother hasn't got together with them for a long time?"

Mrs. Qinghe's boudoir friends, if you pick one at random, they are all famous ladies who stomped and shook the capital, and Mrs. Qinghe herself has a quiet and elegant temperament. The friends she met are not only high-status, but also first-class people Female dependents.

Madam Qinghe put down the scissors for pruning flower branches, looked at Suye: "Qing'er, what's the matter with you recently?"

Mrs. Qinghe doesn't hear the world's affairs because she also has this capital. She has one of the best sons in the world and has enough ability to control the family business. She doesn't need to worry about it, but it doesn't mean that she can't find out about his son's abnormality.

Suye stood up, walked in front of Mrs. Qinghe, stretched out her hand to hold Mrs. Qinghe's palm: "Mother, please help me this time."

Mrs. Qinghe didn't ask any further questions right away, she could tell that Suye didn't want to talk, but this son had an idea, he probably felt that it wasn't time to talk about it.

-

Mrs. Qinghe can do this little thing with a lift of her fingers, it should be said that it is much easier than pruning the flowers and branches in the yard.

The next day, a luxurious and dazzling carriage stopped in front of Shenju Silk and Satin Shop, and a lady inside couldn't wait to get down: "Hurry up, hurry up, I heard from Mrs. Qinghe that this is the shop!"

Accompanying her was a young lady who seemed to be a member of the noble family, she should be the daughter of a woman.

Kong Linglong was doing the accounting inside. Because of the continuous losses, she was almost unable to make ends meet on the books. She spent the whole night thinking about ways to improve the business yesterday.

I heard the guy outside say, "Madam, what do you want to buy?"

A young girl's voice said: "Mother, are there cranes embroidered on that material?"

Cranes, many rich and noble families like to use this pattern representing auspiciousness, but the color of the crane itself is destined not to make too gorgeous clothes, so it is not used much.

But the silks and satins of this batch of cranes are extremely bold in color, which immediately attracted the girl's attention.

The noble lady was also amazed, she stepped forward and picked up the material for a closer look.

The carriage parked at the door was very ostentatious, and a well-informed passer-by knew the carriage, and said in surprise and joy, "Isn't that Madam Dongling's carriage?"

Someone curiously asked Mrs. Tang Ling, but they were ridiculed.

Those who can ask these questions are ten-year-old children, but those who have lived a few more years will understand the importance of Mrs. Dongling. She is basically the same as the retired empress. Aspects, if ordinary people can seek an aspect, it is already smoke from their ancestral graves, but Mrs. Dongling's husband, father, and grandfather have all been in high positions for several generations. Such an identity, let alone an ordinary person, is a real one. The noble family also has to look up.

Someone at the door began to look around curiously.

In the shop, Mrs. Dongling and her daughter Lingyue were excited to pick and choose materials, and she really felt that she couldn't put it down. At this time, another carriage came by the door, and an old lady with silver hair got out of it. The old lady was leaning on a jade crutch with a dragon pattern in her hand, and she was also dressed magnificently.

At least five servants followed and served, making all the eyes of the people on the street drop.

Inside, Mrs. Dongling was shocked when she saw the person coming, and called out, "Grand Concubine Qin?"

The person who came was the late emperor's widowed concubine, the much-loved Concubine Qin back then.

Concubine Qin was supported by her servants, and she found Mrs. Dongling as soon as she entered the store. Madam Dongling was still a junior in front of Concubine Qin, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help her, "How coincidentally, Concubine Dongling also came to buy satin?"

Concubine Qin was deeply loved by the late emperor because of her lively and outgoing personality when she was young. This temperament has not changed when she is old. She likes to walk around the capital. She is honored as a half-mother, so she does not restrict Concubine Qin and allows her to leave the palace at will.

Outsiders didn't know Concubine Qin, but they were surprised to see that the famous Mrs. Dongling treated Concubine Qin very respectfully, and knew that this silver-haired old lady was not simple.

Kong Linglong in the room was finally alarmed. She put down the abacus and account book in her hand, and listened to the voice from outside almost in surprise.

At this time, Yu'er took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in, with a look of panic, "Miss, there is a concubine outside, and Mrs. Dongling!"

These rich and powerful people almost put the label of "trouble" on their bodies, and they are really a little frightened now.

Kong Linglong frowned: "Go and have a look."

When they came outside, the silk and satin shop was already crowded with people, but Kong Linglong saw that most of these people were maidservants and servants in their attire.

Surrounded by the two in the middle, one is more than middle-aged, dignified and beautiful, and the other is full of silver hair and energetic.

The silk and satin shop that had been deserted for many days was finally overcrowded again.

Seeing Kong Linglong, Mrs. Dongling looked at the clerk next to her, and the clerk said, "This is our eldest lady."

Mrs. Dongling looked at Kong Linglong in surprise, she did not expect that the owner of this silk and satin shop would be such a young girl who looked somewhat similar to her daughter.

Kong Linglong took the initiative to step forward: "What kind of material does Madam want?"

The voice was gentle and sweet, which made Madam Dongling and Concubine Qin very comfortable to listen to.

Mrs. Dongling let go of her doubts, and looked at the daughter she had brought: "I want to choose some materials to make some clothes for her."

Kong Linglong looked at the girl next to her, who also looked at her curiously, with surprise in her eyes.

Kong Linglong said, "Miss, why don't you take a look with me."

Her attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and the girl immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Kong Linglong knew a girl of this age, so she directly took her to look at a few pieces of material. Sure enough, the girl's eyes lit up, seeing her daughter's reaction, Mrs. Dongling immediately said: "I've got all the things I saw just now."

Who doesn't like rich and powerful guests, Concubine Qin over there was in high spirits, and quickly bought a few batches and ordered people to load them into the carriage.

In just half a day, two luxurious carriages carried people who were more valuable than the carriages to go back and forth in the silk and satin house. The group of onlookers waited for the carriages to go away with their own eyes, and started discussing with one another.

"It actually attracts Concubine Qin and Mrs. Dongling to patronize. What is the origin of this silk and satin shop?"

"Didn't you say that you offended Jin Yiwei and the shop was closed, but it reopened after only half a day!"

"Is there really any backer behind this store?"

Some people curled their lips in disdain and lowered their voices, "...Didn't it mean that the young lady of this shop has hooked up with an old official in the palace? It's nepotism..."

Fang Yin stood at the door and shouted coldly: "Get out!"

The group of people were blown away, but the words had already spread in, and Yu'er's face changed, as if she finally understood what Fang Yin got angry on the street some time ago because of what she heard.

Combined with Mr. Zhuge not showing up in the shop these days, Yu'er's face became very annoyed.

Kong Linglong said, "Come in."

The stock in the shop has been exhausted, Madam Tang Ling and Concubine Qin swept away all the valuable materials, and Madam Dong Ling's daughter also bought a lot.

Yu'er's complexion is not good, since the young lady's reputation is involved, no matter how good the business is, she has no time to be happy.

Kong Linglong glanced at her: "Let's close the door early today, you are all tired too."

Just thinking about this, the clerk took down the door panel, and when he was about to close it, one foot stretched out. He was wearing the golden boots that noble children often wear, with silver patterns embroidered on the corner, and the appearance of his foot against the door indicated that This person's comer is not good.

The silk and satin shop was busy enough today, but I didn't expect to meet Yao Mozi when the door was closed. The clerk was stunned for a moment, and before he had time to look up, the door was pushed hard.

The figure of the visitor walked into the shop, looking at Kong Linglong with familiar and indifferent eyes.

Yu'er was so surprised that she lost her composure like she was at this moment, staring at the face of the visitor, "Liu, Liu..."

"Liu Shao." Kong Linglong said the name of this person slowly, as indifferently as if she had never known this person.

Liu Shao heard it, sneered, and continued to take a step forward, "Farewell to Xianyang, haven't seen each other for a year... Linglong?"

Yu'er came to her senses, and immediately dodged to block Kong Linglong like a beast protector: "Your name is Miss?"

Liu Shao didn't seem to hear, and still stared at Kong Linglong coldly, "It seems that Liu's fate is fatal, and he can't escape the entanglement with your Kong family anywhere."

Kong Linglong's face was as cold as frost: "Mr. Liu came here uninvited, who is pestering whom?"

Liu Shao sneered, "It seems that Ms. Kong is born with a restless life. It is not enough to stay in Xianyang. She must come to the capital to play tricks and let everyone know you."

If not, he wouldn't have to be forced by Situ Xueyi to plunge into this muddy water again.
